  1. Better for another thread, but it would be funny if Dell’s terms included keeping the $1k in Dell stock until the recipient reaches adulthood. Back to recruiting, it seems like they aren’t trying to keep Vodney Cleveland very hard. That or his representation is angling for more of a financial commitment from Texas. “No, really, Vodney is really looking UNC, he’s headed there I swear.”
  2. Let’s be fair, that could be anybody.
  3. Lonesome Dove is a wonderful suggestion and is far more of a friendly read than my contribution:
  4. This is a deep cut, but something else the show seems to do poorly is to portray King's eye for the off-putting.
  5. I think there's too much line coordination that requires a single authority to have different positional coaches (you can certainly add coaches for technique). My other thought is that Cole Hudson, Conner Robertson, and probably DJ Campbell are what they are, for better or for worse (in other words, I don't think there's a lot of untapped aptitude that's there to bring out with more coaching). I have zero clue, however, why Stroh and Neto appear unplayable.
  6. I’m a little skeptical that Flood is going anywhere, and I certainly don’t think Sarkisian is going to push for it. There’s probably an argument here that Flood needs to have more supervision shopping for the groceries than he does baking the cake.
  7. $3.5m seems on the low end of what I expect in arbitration. McCormick got $3.4 coming off a -.6 WAR season.
  8. I got caught up last night. A few thoughts:
  9. This isn't to take anything away from Burke, but that's 2018 Big 12 Lineman of the year Omenihu, and who also had nine sacks his senior year (Burke, by comparison, had three). Last year in the same position Barryn Sorrel had six sacks.
  10. Yes, my point was he was getting starter money already last year before his playing time justified it. There’s obviously risk with anyone who doesn’t have a spot to play early or isn’t developmentally ready, but plays a premium position or is at a USC feeder school, for example, in that the upfront commitment is to get paid like a starter. I’m sure they’d love to have him back, but I bet he’s already getting close to the maximum they think it would cost to replace him.
  11. Ach, autocorrect. I meant to write Baker.
  12. Maybe, but Butler has been getting paid like a starter even as a back-up. I’m not sure he’s a candidate for a big raise unless someone thinks he’s an all American candidate in year 2 as a starter.
  13. Same, also the potential money for being a safe first rounder versus round 2-3 justify the delay if a kid is getting good counsel. Agree with the posters above that we need spend whatever it takes for a top RB and then see what is leftover for other priorities.
  14. Paul Wadlington is always good for an annual take-down of preseason all American teams that boil down to “this dude has started 30 games” rather than on actual performance. I have to imagine they will be looking to upgrade the line and aren’t going to worry about Conner Robertson’s feelings if they can find someone experienced and better. I think they’ll stay put at tackle because those dudes are expensive and they’ve already paid Baker a lot and Goosby will likely get a raise (though that family is clearly not mercenaries so it’ll probably be modest).
